Taylor Hall<\/a>, Logan Stankoven<\/a>, and Seth Jarvis<\/a> each had a goal and an assist, and Brandon Bussi<\/a> made 24 saves for the Hurricanes (37-15-6), who have won four in a row and extended their point streak to 11 games (9-0-2).<\/p>\n

\u201cEverything that went on in that game was kind of what you knew was coming,\u201d Carolina coach Rod Brind\u2019Amour said. \u201cWe obviously got off to a good start. I thought we battled hard, but the start was the key.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brayden Point<\/a> had a goal and an assist, Jake Guentzel<\/a> had three assists, and Jonas Johansson<\/a> made 28 saves for the Lightning (38-15-4), whose six-game winning streak ended.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe spent a lot of energy trying to come back from 3-0,\u201d Lightning assistant coach Rob Zettler said. \u201cWhen you give up three goals in the first 10 minutes, it\u2019s never a good recipe. But I will say, the boys battled back. We started to clean it up the second half of the first period.\u201d<\/p>\n

Carolina took a 1-0 lead at 1:43 of the first period thanks to Nikolaj Ehlers<\/a>, who took a stretch pass from\u00a0K\u2019Andre Miller<\/a> in the neutral zone before scoring from the right face-off circle on a snap shot that beat Johansson stick side.<\/p>\n

Stankoven pushed the lead to 2-0 at 2:56. After he gathered a loose puck near center ice, Stankoven passed to Hall and got the return pass for a redirect at the right post.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was hungry to get back out there and contribute,\u201d said Stankoven, who turned 23 on Thursday. \u201cIt was nice to see the puck go in and our line to have some success. Sometimes you can\u2019t control where the puck goes, but if you work as hard as you can and keep building on the little things, that\u2019s all you can ask of yourself.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Taylor Hall, Logan Stankoven, and Seth Jarvis each had a goal and an assist, and Brandon Bussi made…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":171057,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[135,137,136],"class_list":["post-171056","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tampa","tag-tampa","tag-tampa-headlines","tag-tampa-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/171056","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=171056"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/171056\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/171057"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=171056"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=171056"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=171056"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
